Maybe roadmap and status could move into the repo so they don't get
out of sync?

Is there a bug tracker somewhere?  I can find any reference to one on
landley.net or in the list archives. It might help Rob relax if there were a
backup copy somewhere besides in his head.

I can set one up on my clone at https://bitbucket.org/terrel_shumway/toybox

Ahh.  I see

   142 CONFIG_PGREP=y
   143 CONFIG_PKILL=y

Which are two really neat-looking tools that I had never heard of
until yesterday.
(my strategy was an ad hoc mix of ps, grep, and kill.)  I'll start
working on those.

I haven't messed with bionic (what I read wasn't encouraging), but I
am loving musl.
